LCR was beautiful yesterday, but the specks are playing hard to get.


From this shot, you'd think the place was crowded...

but I only saw one other boat on the lake all day.

Water conditions remain excellent. The lake is at full pool and water clarity is...
well, take a look for yourself--here's a bottle of lake water (headed for
my freezer to become minnow-safe ice).


Here's a sight that's near and dear to freckle-chasers everywhere!

Maybe by the time this thing breaks down and becomes good submerged structure,
today's 4 and 5-inchers will be citations. Meanwhile, they're about all that's biting in number.
Only 7 were cooler-worthy all day. The remaining 24 were the junior size.

With such low numbers, it's hard to characterize anything as a pattern, but the ones
that would bite were in 14' to 18' of water near submerged wood. During the day,
I covered almost 10 miles & found a fish or two here & there, but no concentration.
